15 pregnant women who are probably having a worse day than you are
Have you attended or experience these ‘milestones’ in pregnancy?
We are talking about baby showers, gender reveal parties, and maternity photoshoots. These are just a few of the most common pregnancy celebrations.
Pregnancy appears to be a magical experience and it’s a blessing!
But not at all! Pregnancy entails so much more!
To be honest, most of us do not seem so as glamorous.
Instead of wearing flowy and soft maternity dresses, we prefer to spend the day in our pajamas. And rather than seeing the pregnancy glow, we see how unkempt our hair is.
You understand what we mean, don’t you?
Growing a human inside your tummy is not an easy task for any pregnant woman.
This is the reality of pregnancy. From unusual cravings to a roller coaster of emotions…
Here we put together a list of 15 of the most common issues that pregnant women encounter.
1. This feels good, but how do I get out of here?

It always feels like summer when you’re pregnant, so imagine being pregnant in the summer! That’s like four times the heat!
This pregnant woman was able to find a pleasant way to relax, but how would she get up?
2. Extensive exercise
Other pregnant woman: I like to do yoga and an hour of cardio each day. It helps me appreciate the wonders of what my body is capable of right now
Me: I almost suffocated while trying to put my shoes on this morning

I don’t understand how some pregnant women can do yoga, tend to a beautiful garden, go out and have fun, and even do DIY baby stuff!
For the majority of pregnant women? Putting on shoes or picking up a key from the ground is enough to make us want to take naps.
3. Baby feet?
Those baby feet are just too cute! Oh! Those aren’t baby feet, are they?
Aside from that, it’s extremely difficult to stand and walk with swollen feet. Then you realize it’s time to use the restroom once more. Oh, no!
If you notice this type of swelling, you may contact your OB-GYN as soon as possible.
4. Favorite no more!
Couple things about pizza….
1. I used it to tell Mat he was going to be a Dad.2. It really is our favorite food – eating it at least once a week.
3. Since I got pregnant, I CANT STAND THE THOUGHT, SMELL, SIGHT of it. π

When pizza is your life, but you discover that you can’t stand the smell or sight of your favorite food.
Nobody knows why this happens, but it does! It appears that there will be no pizza for the next nine months.
5. Breakfast nook
Are you eating for two? It’s more like feeding an army!
Sometimes you’re just so hungry that you don’t realize you’ve already eaten four breakfasts! But wait a minute! Who’s keeping score?
6. Comfortable undies
Do you like laced underwear? If you’re expecting, you’ll want to ditch them for a while in favor of those comfy maternity undies.
When you’re pregnant, your comfort is everything!
7. Confused
Pregnancy hormones make you want to either rip your husband's clothes off or his head off.
There is literally nothing in between.

There’s no kidding! Those hormones are extremely active when you are pregnant.
Sometimes you just love your husband too much, but most of the time you just want to kick him. We’re not kidding!
8. Please don’t make me cry!
Literally BALLING because my husband took a bite of my sandwich.. heβs sleeping on the couch tonight π’ππ»π #pregnantproblems pic.twitter.com/I4d3bFkNCK

This is our personal favorite!
When you’re pregnant, you’re filled with intense emotions. So, don’t think we’re being overly dramatic, okay?
Don’t laugh because it will irritate us even more.
9. The third-trimester issue
I told my husband to put the oreos somewhere I couldn't get them. So he put them on the floor. #pregnancyproblems #thirdtrimesterwoes
— Melissa Merwin Dydyn (@mamerwin) September 11, 2016
When this woman asked her husband to hide the Oreos somewhere she wouldn’t find them, he cleverly placed them on the floor.
He’s aware of it! He understands that any woman in her third trimester will be unable to get anything off the floor. Clap, clap, clap for you, mister!
10. What I want to eat for dinner
When this husband asked his 39-week pregnant wife to get something for dinner, she brought these home.
Remember, guys, if your wife craves it, you should support her.
I’m guessing this couple’s dinner will be an ice cream party.
11. The child is aware.
Me- *Coughs really hard.
3- Don't worry Mommy, I get you dry pants!
— Anecdotal Birthcontrol (@AnecdtlBrthCtrl) April 5, 2019
When mom coughs hard, this toddler knows what happens!
Isn’t he the cutest? He is unquestionably assisting mommy in this situation.
12. No touch spray
We understand. There’s a baby inside that huge tummy! Isn’t she adorable?
However, we must also be more considerate in this situation. This lady is pregnant and it’s not appropriate to simply touch her tummy. To be honest, it makes pregnant women feel uneasy.
We adore how this husband created a no-touch spray for his wife. We’re confident she’ll put it to good use.
13. Swaddling 101
When the baby comes, you should be prepared to swaddle him or her. That’s why this expecting mother is already honing her swaddling techniques on, well, Mr. Skittles.
Mr. Skittles appears to be unimpressed.
14. Strange cravings
Pickle juice freeze pops!! Let's see how this works!! #pregnancyeating pic.twitter.com/HFMaFhVgej

Do you recall your weirdest food cravings? Pickle juice popsicles, anyone?
It’s both refreshing and strange, but for your pregnant wife, this is the best popsicle β ever!
15. 5 Stages of pregnancy
5 Stages of Pregnancy:
1: Crying
2: Peeing
3: Crying because you peed
4: Peeing because you're crying
5: The toilet is your home now
— Sam (@SufficientCharm) April 24, 2017
It can feel like the toilet is your home at times.
After all, you struggle to pee, then go back to bed to rest, only to realize you need to pee again, and then struggle to stand up.
That’s when you start crying because you know the cycle has begun!

These couples found a humorous way to deal with the ups and downs of pregnancy.
You are extremely fortunate if you have a loving husband.
He’s with you to support, understand, and love you throughout your pregnancy journey.
